I can't sit on my foot because it's all swollen up but I was just standing on the couch when I suddenly lost my balance and my foot hit the frame of the couch really hard and then it hit the floor really hard and it didn't hurt at first. So I went in my room to scream into a blanket when the pain finally came and I was all, "help. me. right. now."
I ran to sit on our Mexican sofa, and I felt a pulsing in my foot. That's when I realized THE SIDE OF MY LEFT FOOT WAS SWELLING UP. Ohholycrap, it hurt SO bad. Not even the coldest chunk of ice could numb it.
That's when I realized, I had to go to my friend's house. How would I explain this to them? "Hey guys, I hurt my foot falling off a couch because that's what normal people do."
I had to go down our flight of stairs. Seventeen stairs in all, not carpeted, very slippery. I couldn't understand how my cousin could make it down these, even though she'd broken 20 bones in her foot playing basketball. Which is insane, but also convenient, because you can leave your other shoe in France. Nice. But also not so nice if it's 20 bones. At least, according to my memory it was 20 bones. Somewhere around there, I think. Probably.
Anyway, when I finished going down the stairs, I needed to get in one shoe. So I did, but it was impossible and I ended up backing into the wall, stepping right on the side of my foot, and screaming in pain.
And then a dog ran into me and I got even more injured.
We did end up watching National Treasure and eating nachos though. And ice cream.
And my foot still hurts.
UPDATE: Last night, I got a picture of my swollen up foot. You don't have to look at this if you don't want to, but you probably won't even notice.
